Our mission is simple: make really high quality essentials for really low prices, fairly and sustainably. From there, our teams design smart, efficient operational processes and build and deploy proprietary technology, AI, and analytics to help us scale fast.
What began with a small assortment of elevated basics has quickly grown into a cross-category brand spanning apparel, accessories, home goods, and more. We question conventional thinking, use technology and data to uncover current opportunities, and move quickly to turn ideas into reality. We're building a better way – at a speed and scale unlike anything that's been done before.
Where conventional wisdom says you have to choose – soft or durable, speed or rigor, quality or price – we ask why that trade-off has to exist in the first place.
We believe the best results come from challenging ourselves, learning from one another, and building on each other's strengths.
If you're someone who likes to imagine new possibilities and build better systems rather than plug-in to outdated ones, Quince is the place for you.
We are seeking a Principal Product Manager to lead our Factory Tech within our Sourcing team. Quince is building the operating system for the factories, mills, and vendors that make our products. Factory OS is the software our supply partners run their operations on — planning, scheduling, capacity, quality, and compliance — replacing spreadsheets and disconnected tools with one system of record for how goods actually get made.
As Principal PM, you own this platform end to end: the vision, the roadmap, and the hard calls about what we build, for whom, and in what order. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with vendors and mills on the factory floor, and with our engineering, ops, and sourcing teams, to turn messy real-world production workflows into reliable software. Own the Factory OS product strategy — from vendor/mill discovery through roadmap, specs, and launch — and be accountable for adoption and measurable operational impact (adoption, on-time production,
capacity utilization, quality yield, planning accuracy).
Design the core operational workflows — production planning, scheduling, capacity management, order and material tracking — so they hold up under the reality of a working factory, not just a demo.
Factory data touches sourcing, labor, quality, and trade requirements. You'll obsess over onboarding, change management, and the gap between 'shipped' and 'used daily'
Partner deeply cross-functionally with engineering, ML, design, sourcing, and factory operations — translating ambiguous problem statements into shipped products.
10+ years in product management, including senior/principal-level ownership of a complex B2B SaaS or operational software product from zero-to-one or through significant scale
- Direct experience building workflow-automation software - you've taken manual, multi-step operational processes and turned them into software that runs them, and you understand the difference between digitizing a workflow and actually automating it.
- Domain proximity to manufacturing, supply chain, or factory/operations software (MES/MOM, ERP, planning/scheduling, quality, or sourcing systems). A credible point of view on AI and agents in production software - not slideware. You've shipped, or can clearly articulate how you'd ship, agentic and human-in-the-loop automation into a real operational system.
- A track record with compliance-sensitive products — you've built software where auditability, traceability, and regulatory or contractual requirements were core to the design.
- Hands-on AI fluency — you use AI tools daily for discovery, spec-writing, and prototyping, and you build to think.
- Comfort in the field — you'll spend time with vendors and mills, and you're energized (not deterred) by messy, physical, real-world operations
Experience building software used by external partners/suppliers (not just internal or single-tenant customers).
Background in apparel, textiles, consumer goods, or hard-goods manufacturing supply chains
You will work alongside talented colleagues, tackle meaningful challenges, and contribute to building a more sustainable, accessible future for customers and partners alike.
